Prep-Ahead Instructions:
This dressing can entirely be made before you need it! Just give it a good shake before serving.

Recipe Tips
  • Creamy is key. Avoid a chunky dressing by opting for creamy peanut butter in this Asian salad dressing.
  • Not toasted. Unrefined sesame oil is called for in this recipe.
  • Give it a shake. Mix this dressing up just before serving for the best results.
  • Get creative. Dip crunchy veggies, like red bell peppers or carrots, in this dressing, or drizzle it over meats for added flavor.
  • Add some spice. Include some red pepper flakes for a kick.
